Legend of Hongmeng Duo

The storm on Lingquan Island finally subsided, and the black-robed monks' conspiracy was thwarted by Lin Yi and Su Qing. The monks on the island were filled with gratitude, and their reputations spread further in the world of immortal cultivation. But Lin Yi and Su Qing knew that the real challenge had just begun.

After repelling the black-robed monks, Lin Yi and Su Qing decided to strengthen the island's defenses. Together with other monks, they established an early warning system to prevent similar attacks in the future.

"We must remain vigilant at all times," Lin Yi told everyone at a gathering. "Although we repelled this attack, there's no guarantee that a more powerful enemy won't appear."

Su Qing nodded, her eyes filled with determination: "We must not only improve our own strength, but also strengthen the island's defenses. Only in this way can we survive the storm."

In the following weeks, Lin Yi and Su Qing led the monks on the island to strengthen the island's formations, set up more traps and alarm devices, and organized a patrol team to monitor the waters around the island day and night.

During these days, Fengying also demonstrated its value. Its keen perception repeatedly discovered small spirit beasts that sneaked into the island, thus protecting the island's safety.

One day, while inspecting the island's defenses, Lin Yi discovered something strange: an area on the east side of the island with abnormal fluctuations in spiritual energy, as if something was affecting the spiritual energy there.

"Su Qing, come and take a look at this." Lin Yi called Su Qing.

Su Qing observed it for a while, her brows furrowed. "This fluctuation is very unusual and doesn't seem like a natural phenomenon. We have to investigate."

The two decided to explore the area. They passed through dense forests, crossed rugged mountains, and finally came to a hidden valley.

In the valley, a huge spiritual formation is in operation. In the center of the formation is a huge spiritual stone, which emits powerful spiritual energy. It is this spiritual energy that affects the surrounding environment.

"This is a spirit gathering array." Lin Yi said in surprise, "But a spirit gathering array of this scale is extremely rare. It requires a large amount of spirit stones and complex array knowledge."

Su Qing nodded and walked around the spirit gathering array. "The structure of this spirit gathering array is very ingenious. It can not only gather spiritual energy, but also transform it into defensive power."

The two realized that this spirit gathering array might have been left behind by the senior masters on the island, and its existence was a huge treasure for Lingquan Island.

"We can try to repair and utilize this spirit gathering array." Lin Yi suggested.

Su Qing agreed to the plan, her eyes sparkling with excitement: "This will greatly enhance our strength and the island's defense."

Over the next few days, Lin Yi and Su Qing began to research how to repair and utilize the spirit gathering array. They consulted numerous ancient books, trying to understand the structure and principles of the array.

After some effort, they finally found a way to activate and control the Spirit Gathering Array. With the activation of the Spirit Gathering Array, the spiritual energy on the island became more abundant, and the cultivators' cultivation speed also increased significantly.

The monks on the island were full of gratitude to Lin Yi and Su Qing. They knew that it was this young pair of monks who led them to a brighter future.

Lin Yi stood in the valley, watching the spirit gathering array in operation, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment: "Su Qing, we did it."

Su Qing smiled and nodded, her eyes full of pride: "This is the result of our joint efforts."

The Wind Shadow ran around them happily, seemingly celebrating their success as well.

With the activation of the Spirit Gathering Array, Lingquan Island has become more prosperous, and the strength of the monks has also increased significantly. Lin Yi and Su Qing know that this is only a stage in their journey, and there are more challenges waiting for them in the future.

"Su Qing, Fengying, our journey is still long and we need more experience." Lin Yi said.

Su Qing nodded, her eyes full of determination: "No matter what the future holds, we will face it together."

The Kazekage beside them gave a cheerful cry, seemingly in agreement.

They stand in the valley, ready to face the challenges ahead. Their journey has just begun, their story has just begun.
